God speaks a word against the governor of the State of Israel.

“Now to you, O profane, wicked prince of Israel, whose day has come, whose iniquity shall end, thus says the Lord God: Remove the turban, and take off the crown; Nothing shall remain the same. Exalt the humble, and humble the exalted.” Ezekiel 21:25 -26.

The prince of Israel is profane because princes are supposed to lead the Jewish people in the will of God. Instead, they are being led away from God, taught to reject Jesus Christ, and groomed to oppress the presence of the Holy Spirit. Today, we see the end of Israel progressing forward along with her profane ways. Nothing will ever be the same for them as when they were looked upon as God’s royal and special people.

The Israelites once were the special people of God who lifted up His word, the Ten Commandments, in a world that didn’t have a clue of any such commandments. When they rejected Jesus Christ 2000 years ago, they were no longer the leaders of the world pointing to the will of God. Instead, they were quite the opposite by encouraging the Jewish culture to remove themselves from Jesus. The Jewish people lost their royal turban and crown and became profane in the eyes of God.

The Jewish people have fallen far from God since their rejection of Jesus Christ. In fact, Jesus plainly said the “sons of the kingdom” would be cast into outer darkness but those who live for Him will have a home in the New Jerusalem, “And I say to you that many will come from east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. But the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” Matthew 8:11-12

The Jewish culture has been humbled since they turned away from the will of God by refusing to become Christians. In contrast, the followers of Jesus Christ have been exalted in the eyes of God. The Jewish people exalted their own culture above Jesus, and they have been humbled for all the world to see. The followers of Jesus have humbled ourselves to live as Christians and we are exalted according to the will of God. “For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.” Luke 14:11

“But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:” John 1:12

The Jewish people have been led down the wrong path by their leaders and have lost their royal turban and crown as a result. As followers of Jesus Christ, we now wear that royal turban and crown, “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.” 1 Peter 2:9-10

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:11
